"Given the challenges of today’s investing landscape, people don’t always know what to make of their portfolio fluctuations"

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In response to continued interest from clients in assessing how their portfolios are performing, Charles Schwab has made Portfolio Performance Reporting available at no charge to all clients on Schwab.com. Refreshed daily, the reports can be customized so clients can improve their understanding of what’s driving portfolio performance and how much risk they’ve taken so they can make more informed decisions.

Especially important to investors with complex portfolios and investing goals, Portfolio Performance Reporting marries the flexibility of online access with timely data for greater transparency. Clients can select time periods and view the performance of their portfolios against an array of benchmarks and indices, and can examine how the risk and return of their portfolios compares to their benchmarks. A portfolio view broken out by asset class enables them to make additional comparisons, so they can see where they are exceeding or falling behind the markets and change allocations accordingly.

“Given the challenges of today’s investing landscape, people don’t always know what to make of their portfolio fluctuations,” said Andy Gill, executive vice president for Charles Schwab. “It’s natural to want to know: ‘How am I doing?’ Providing clients with more information about both how and why their portfolios behave will help them become more successful investors, whether they make the changes on their own or with support from Schwab.”

Gill emphasized that Schwab offers a far broader range of reports than most other firms, and unlike others whose data remains static for a month, Schwab updates its data on a daily basis enabling clients to have a more real-time experience.

Portfolio Performance Reporting is automatically available to clients with complex portfolios at www.schwab.com/performance. Retail clients who do not have Portfolio Performance Reporting automatically available can call 1-800-435-4000 to request to have the new reporting capability added to their account.
